Yeah, kill is very tasteless. We're migrating our code base to use the new term "fuckingAnnihilateRuthlessly" instead.

Personally, "abort" is kinda gross to me due to calling to mind certain unsavory images, but that's clearly my problem, not Node's!

Yes, a way to terminate down-stream. It turns out to be a pretty messy problem. I didn't know AbortSignal was in Node now. It's been a while since I revisited this issue. I should read more.

> Also please be sensitive and don't use "kill" in new code. ;) We already have to deal with "abort".

Point taken!
